This week Lewis talks about the rising conflict in Russia between Putin and Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, in addition to Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor-Greene's fight in Congress. Additionally, Lewis finishes recounting his stay in Europe, starting in London, then Amsterdam, Berlin, Czechoslovakia, and Lisbon (where he did NOT surf on the 100-foot waves, mainly because there were none).

#133 - Hey Russia, What's Up?!

Lewis Black has some things to get off his chest! With his weekly podcast "Lewis Black’s Rantcast," the Grammy-winning comedian does just that. Channeling his anger in ways only a man who’s devoted his entire life to ranting can do. The tirades are sometimes big, other times small, yet they are always fun-spirited and truly hilarious. No topic is safe from Black’s trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing. Skewering anything and anyone that gets under his skin. On the "Rantcast," Black isn’t the only person getting things off his chest, each week Lewis allows fans to submit their gripes so he can commiserate in their frustrations. Black’s long career includes movie roles in Accepted, the voice of Anger in the Pixar’s "Inside Out," and is currently the longest-running correspondent on Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show."

Stand-Up

Lewis is headed overseas, but he left the fans with a stellar episode of The Rantcast. Like many of you, he's having a hard time understanding why a South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem bragged about her animal abuse, why NYC mayor Eric Adams is an idiot, the college campus protests, and ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It's enraging for all. But perhaps the silver lining of all this might be the promising season of Baltimore Orioles and their hopes to restore some sanity for Lewis this summer.
The live rants from this week's episode come straight from The National theater in Richmond, VA and run the gamut of complaints, from the big (climate change) to the small (an ex taking back a gift) and the good people of Richmond showed up.

172 - Live From Richmond

Lewis it out on the road and enjoying his time performing in front of the fans. So much in fact that he once again brought back The Rant Is Due live from a recent stop in Iowa City (home of Caitlin Clark) where some of the Hawkeye State's finest ranters submitted their hot takes on everything from government officials to their own daughters. It was a wild one out at the Englert Theater in Iowa City.
Be sure to check out the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library at https://www.vonnegutlibrary.org where Lewis will be taking part in some fundraising events.

171 - Live from Iowa City

We have a special episode of Lewis Black's Rantcast this week. Lewis is on the road and during a stop in Nashville this weekend (on 4/20) he decided to perform a live The Rant Is Due livestream for the first time in a long time. It was a thoroughly enjoyable time so we decided bring that live event to you all for episode 170 of the Rantcast.

Enjoy these rants live from the James K. Polk Theater in Nashville, TN.

170 - Live In Nashville

It was a week of happenings, not just for Lewis but for the nation as we experienced not only the Solar Eclipse, but a large earthquake for a swath of people in the East. Lewis found himself in Arizona for a charity golf outing, still managing to see the eclipse. Was it the advertised 75% darkness it was advertised as? Maybe not. Unfortunately, the usual crazies bubble up with conspiracy theories around these natural phenomenon (of course). Other newsworthy events include the dreaded annual Tax Day and the death of OJ Simpson opens re-ignites old wars in what might’ve been the inflection point of a new way the media operates.

The rants are live this week as Lewis works through some live dates in the Northeast. Speaking of tour dates, fall dates of The Goodbye Yeller Brick Road have been announced and by the time you read this, they will be on sale through the F.U.C.K.U fan club with public on sale occurring Friday, April 19th .

RANT #1 – Alan Whitman has a complaint about Maine’s new beer laws
RANT #2 – PN hates the Maine Weather
RANT #3 – A student from the University of Maine’s rants about its amenities
RANT #4 – Wayne Harvey wants people to know it’s just a comedy show

169 - Eclipsed by the Eclipse

The madness of the year has already gotten to us, and if it’s going to continue through the already-declared politics-free summer, perhaps its time to get out of dodge and head on up to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY?
What nonsense is happening this week? First off, can anyone fluent in finance explain how Truth Social makes money? While we’re at it, can someone also tackle inflation? While on the topic of explaining things, a Michigan rep could use some help identifying a college basketball team. An MLB player could use some help determining if Wyoming is real, and Tennessee needs to figure out what exactly is the deal with Chemtrails. As always, Lewis is here to help navigate the madness.
This week's rants are live from the road in Providence, Boston, and Portland, ME.
